I am really good at science, so I decided to take part in science competitions, which could excuse me from the College Entrance Exam if I did a good job. With the help of my teachers, I finished all the high school science courses beforehand (预先). Meanwhile, I learnt part of the chemistry courses for college students on my own.
In the first term of Senior 2, I won first prize for both a chemistry and a computer science competition. I therefore gained the qualification for being recommended to university. I didn't content myself with this achievement. Instead, I continued to take part in more science competitions. I pocketed a number of prizes, including first prize in the National High School Chemistry Competition (Shanghai Region), which qualified me to be a member of the team representing Shanghai. In the final of the NHSCC I won the gold medal and was able to join the national team!
All my efforts were rewarded by admission to Peking University. I received my offer last December. I recalled all the hardships I'd experienced when looking back on my road of “competing”. I don't remember having a single relaxed holiday without preparing for competitions. I devoted myself to what I did. I've never felt bored because I love science.
I would say I've gained more than I paid, because by participating in these competitions, I greatly enhanced my logical reasoning power and analytical (分析的) ability. Moreover, I laid a solid foundation for my future at Peking University.

Have you eaten too much over the holidays? You should try fidgeting for a while. Those around you might not like it, but scratching (moving your nails (指甲) against a part of your body) and twitching (moving suddenly and quickly when you don' t want to) is an important way of burning up calories (卡路里).
American researchers have found that some people's squirming (continuously turn your body when nervous) and wigging (move in small movements, especially from side to side) equals (等于) several miles of slow running each day.
The scientists, based at the National Institute of Health's laboratory in Phenix, Arizona, are studying why some people get fat and other stay slim.
In one study 177 people each spent 24 hours in a room in the institute where the amount (量) of energy is measured by their oxygen and carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) levels. By the end of the day, some people had burned up 800 calories in toe-tapping, (moving the front part of your foot up and down) finger-drumming (hitting your fingers continuously and lightly against something hard) and other nervous habits. However, others had burned up only 100 calories.
The researchers found that slim women fidget more than fat women, but there was no significant difference in men. Heavy people burn up more energy when they fidget than thin people do.

In Denmark, parents are allowed to set up a new school if they are dissatisfied with the school in the area where they are living. Although these schools have to follow the national courses, they are allowed a lot of choice in deciding what to teach. Some of these new schools are called “small schools” because usually the number of pupils in them is only sixty, but a school has to have at least twenty-seven pupils.
Cooleenbridge School in Ireland, is a small school similar to the ones in Denmark, it was set up by parents who came from Holland, Germany, Czechoslovakia, England and other parts of Ireland. They came because they wanted to live in the countryside and to grow their own food. In June 1986, they decided to start a school. They managed to get an old, disused primary-school (小学) building and started with twenty-four children aged from four to twelve.
The teachers say, “The important thing in school is doing, not sitting.”And so the courses includes yoga (瑜伽), cooking, knitting, kite-making, music, fishing, drama (戏剧) and environmental (环境的) river studies, as well as reading, writing, maths and science. 1.

Although the inside of the boat is very cosy it has no running water or electricity. Fiona says she can live without these things but she plans to take her small CD player, her hot water bottle and a bag of books to make sure life isn't too uncomfortable.
We asked her if she was afraid of being at sea for so long. She said, “Well, I'm going to take a good compass (指南针). Anyway I'm not afraid of death because I love the sea---I just hope it loves me.” Fiona certainly has plenty of energy; in her spare time, she enjoys playing the piano, rock-climbing,
